Clarence House was built in 1830 on land which was originally the market garden for the City of Hobart. The present owner, David Kilpatrick, first planted vines on the North-East slopes of Clarence Plains in 1998.

The 2018 Clarence House Estate Chardonnay was produced by Anna Pooley and Justin Bubb at Pooley Wines with grapes from Clarence House. The wine is lightly wooded and has been blended to express cool climate Chardonnay flavours.

Hand picked and tended, lightly oaked.
Delicate yet zesty with a bright and finish.
Huon Valley, Tasmania

Hand picked fruit from the Derwent Valley

Tasting Notes
The aromas at first are all about pears from ripe pears to sweet dried pears to spiced pear cake. Fragrant bath salts are hooking up with aromatic brown lime cordial and lemon sherbet. Firstly on the palate there are layers of delicious pears embraced in a round and creamy textural mouthfeel. Sweet citrus notes appear with the slightly steely flavour of tinned apricots and pineapple. There is a clean and bright citrus finish that lingers on and on.
Vineyard Notes
The 2019 Cloudy but Fine Chardonnay is made with high quality A graded fruit from a low yielding vineyard in the Adelaide Hills GI.
Production Notes
Charlie stopped the winemaking process of stabilising the wine because it tasted so awesome he didn’t want the wines gorgeous notes to be lost. This is why the wine looks cloudy. Cloudy but Fine.
